Automaticly create webhosting accounts

[r3n3gad3]

Hey is there a script that can automaticly create webhosting accounts for my clients?

Lets say client1 buy's webhosting pakage 1, the system has to make an account for him and e-mail his loggin stuff. It also has to inform me ofcourse

Is there such an script?

its possible to do although not advisable at a guess.
I did it using the docs from this site and the remote access hash thing - all in php

once somebody finds the path to the create routines, you are wide open to spammers and anyone after a free account.

I still want to push the button that will activate his account

in that case, look at the accounting.inc files, use a front end form to set up the variables and away you go. I will have a dig about and see if I have the script on me drive somewhere!

Modern Bill and WHM AutoPilot can do what you are looking for. Of course they are both commercial applications.

I can't believe that this is not a feature that cPanel has built in... it seems to me this would be the first thing any webmaster looks for!?!?!

Maybe I made a mistake going with cPanel, ugh...

Cpanel is a control panel not a all in one like Billing system. Many webmasters wouldnt like this either

i dont believe the poster wanted a billing system, i think they just wanted a way to automate the creation of an account... i.e. program a custom billing system, pay for one, it is irelivent -- rather use a command line tool (to be called by Perl, Python, or PHP) to create a user. cPanel uses scripts for everything, I'm sure there is a command line way to create a user, but it is just undocumented. i URGE cPanel to document this. As of now I'm working on a hack to allow this, when i get done, i'll freely distribute it.

soemthing like

$> cP-createaccount Username Password Email Package


I mean, it's not brain surgery - I'm just shocked it has not been provided yet.

I have found something like that today

#!/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/php

<?php
require '/usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Accounting.php.inc';
$host = "localhost";
$user = "<USERNAME HERE>";
$accesshash = '<REMOTE ACCESS KEY HERE>';

$accts = listaccts($host,$user,$accesshash,0);
print_r($accts);
$pkgs = listpkgs($host,$user,$accesshash,0);
print_r($pkgs);

?>


All explaned right here

you are a true stud... i was getting tired of figuring out wich ARGV[X] was which

I'll take a look when i get done with Job #1

Edit:

ok - it works great! However you can't add the contact email address to it, anyone figured out how to add that w/out the control panel? if that's the only thing that it doesnt do, i'm not worried, but would be nice to completely automate it.

Cool! I got a couple of javascript errors but who cares.

Could you build in a domain system to, maybe handy its already nice tough

Is it freeware if it is were can I download it?

[storkkel]

I havent decided if im going to make it freeware or charge for support or instalation of the script. as for the domain system i plan to include it in the next update along with a trouble ticket system.
